The Russian troops commend the work of sniper pairs in the Ukraine operation, it said.

"Regardless of nationality - we have a multinational brigade - we accomplish all the objectives coherently as part of assault teams close to the frontline. We act calmly, providing cover for the frontline to prevent the enemy from getting into the rear of assault units. We work in combat pairs," a sniper said.
